I like Version 2.0 a lot more than Version 1.0, the debut album released by Garbage, and called Garbage, even though, it should have been called Version 1.0, for the name of the second album to make a little more sense. But the title is kind of memorable nonetheless. …

I recently bought the Cheap Trick authorized greatest hits CD and one of the songs that really appealed to me was the song, Dream Police. It’s a song that has that really catchy feel to it especially with the synthesizer melody in the background. The story of the song …

Forever Young is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on Planet Waves. Just a note that the review I’m doing is for the slower version of Forever Young which lasts for about five minutes rather than the faster version which also appears on the same album. I’ve read …

An album that really doesnt stand out in the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen is the album Van Halen 2. I really like this album because it still had the classic Van Halen tone with more of a punchy sound to it. Although no Van Halen album …

I just recently bought the 2009 Fender Stratocaster Standard (Made in Mexico) and so far I have few complaints. Fender is known for its quality and this stratocaster is no exception.
The coat on the guitar protects it from light scratches. It’s hit my belt buckle a few …

After System of a Down broke up, the lead singer Serj Tankian decided to do his own solo album and after a bit of a wait, we got Elect the Dead. In all honestly, while I would have preferred a regular System of a Down album over this, this …

To be honest, I never heard any The Chainsmokers before this. But I think this song has gained enough momentum ever since my friend let me listen to it more than 3 months ago.
Songs always take time to grow, but for this case, I instantly liked it upon first …

I have been a huge fan of Ms. Carrie Underwood. She won the fourth season of American Idol a decade ago and since then she’s become the most successful Idol winner ever, and for all the right reasons!
Despite the fact that her genre is kinda local to the US …

The Stylistics is or was a smooth soul all male singing group from the nineteen seventies. Although I have almost no interest in that kind of music, I know about them since my mother and father usually like listening to soul music from the sixties and seventies. I also …

At the introduction of this song, I am imagining an Indian woman dancing like that of Remember the time video of Michael Jackson. However, it sounds sexy, modern and pop once the chorus is being played. What makes this song remarkable is the blending of voice of the vocals …

Mother’s Little Helper is a song by the Rolling Stones which appears on Aftermath. The music isn’t anything too special on this track but the reason why I enjoy this track is because of Jagger’s vocal performance and the lyrics to this song as well which basically create a …

The song itself starts off sort of low key, …

I have been an avid listener to Nine Inch Nails since I was about twelve. In actual fact, it would be more correct to say that I was a fan of this band from about twelve to about fourteen years of age. And the reason why my interest in …

The famous East African, Kenyan born boy band, Sauti Sol are at it again with their new track ‘Melanin’ featuring Patoranking. The song, released only this week, caused a lot of frenzy on social media as it led to sweet and sour opinions about the music video.
‘Melanin’ is a …

West L.A. Fadeaway is a track by The Grateful Dead which appears on one of their later records, In The Dark. I will admit that after the first few Grateful Dead records, I didn’t particularly like too much of their music towards the very end of their career as …

Thanks To You is a song by The Flaming Lips and the eighth song on their second effort, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a clean guitar part, I’m slightly reminded of a tone Led Zeppelin would come up with on one of their earlier records until the vocals …

Nickelback’s album “All The Right Reasons” is my favorite album ever. Honestly, I can’t think of any other album in the world that I like more than this one. What do I feel so strongly about it? The fact that every song on it is great! I don’t mind …

I’m not sure why I have the Alan Jackson: When Somebody Loves You CD. I don’t remember buying it, but I just found it, still in its wrapping to be truthful, so however I got it, I’ve never listened to it until this evening. Very strange to …

Initially it would not catch me listening to this kind of music, but this wonderful singer left me with no other choice but making an exception. The first time I heard her voice I thought that I was in the dream, I caught myself day dreaming and losing all …

Bad Omen is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Peace Sells… But Whose Buying? Bad Omen starts off with a lightly distorted guitar riff which gives it this very eerie vibe, Mustaine’s tone for this riff is just great and matches with what he was going …

The first time I heard the song I can say the song is an average song until it is use in the movie Confession of a Shopaholic as a theme song. It fit the two characters in the movie and I begin to like it. Stuck with each other …

As we all know, there are many hundreds of POP CD’s out on the market. But I most certainly have found one that is very good, and I think that everyone should get a copy of it one way or another. To some people it may not be that …

Nickelback makes great music. The sound is awesome and I really enjoy listening to their sound. I love the drums that are played in most of their songs. The music that flows from Nickelback’s band is nothing short of great. Nickelback rarely makes bad music and they haven’t made bad …

But …

Sugar is a track which appears on System Of A Down’s self-titled debut record. I believe that among the songs on that first record, Sugar is probably the most well known, along with War, because of the music videos made for them. Sugar certainly demonstrates System Of A Down …

Overview —“ Foreclosure Of A Dream, another single released by Megadeth for their critically acclaimed fifth release, Countdown To Extinction, would be the one track on the record that I would choose to call the power ballad. Up until I just read about the track I didn’t know that …

Six years after releasing 2 phenomenal hardcore-packed EP’s, “Rudimentary Peni” and “Farce”, Rudimentary Peni released “Death Church”, one of the darkest, gloomiest, bleakest punk records ever pressed and by far their most solid release to date.
Nick Blinko’s vocal style changes yet again; here it is a lot like …

I didn’t realize that I had Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD in my collection. I assume it’s a version of a CD single because there are only two songs on it. I’m not sure I realized they made two-song CDs.
What would be the A side …

I think these guys for the most part are fabulous. I have played violin for 18 years and while I don’t know that they played such a complex song to get them really noticed, they are innovative and smart and I think they have something going. They are cute …

Beyonce hit the nail on the head for millions of women when she recorded this song. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it), has a great dance beat and more women than men probably like the song. I absolutely love this song from start to finish. Beyonce has a …

Overview —“ Waiting, the third music video released by Green Day in promotion of their album Warning would have to be what I would consider an unneeded music video. The song Waiting itself is a pretty mediocre song in my opinion and the music video would have to fall …
